Book Chats
Join us for a series of engaging book chats hosted by this summer’s ACS reading groups! Each lunchtime session offers a casual opportunity for all ACS members to drop in and hear informal reflections and key takeaways from the group’s selected book.
These conversations will highlight major themes from the summer readings and explore how they relate to our shared work in higher education. Whether you’re curious about new ideas, looking to connect with colleagues, or simply hoping to be inspired, these book chats offer a welcoming space to listen, learn, and reflect.

WorkshoPS
ACS is excited to offer a dynamic series of virtual workshops this fall, designed to spark conversation, share innovative practices, and support collaborative learning across our campuses. These engaging sessions are open to all ACS members and focus on timely topics in teaching, leadership, student support, and more.
Each workshop is led by a team of faculty and staff representing two to three ACS campuses, guiding us through practical strategies and thoughtful dialogue on topics such as generative AI in the classroom, equity in recruitment, and more. Whether you’re looking to explore new tools, reflect on shared challenges, or exchange ideas with peers, these workshops provide a welcoming and solutions-focused space.
